he killed hosties to win a map as a ct on office. he was warned by myself and several others that it was a bannable offense and did not care. when i told him him that he said

 

"no, likely not...cry somewhere else"

 

he was really rude to everyone in the server, and i dont think he has the kind of attitude gc wants around here.

[VooDooPC]

Rico seems, too me, too be very competitive and sometimes I think it leads to a bit of a tude on his part. Most of the time he's pretty cool to play with. Jackal and Hyde of CS.

its true what rico did but he doesn't deserve a long term ban or anything in my opinion

[lazarus]

i know, i know. ive played with him to and he's always been real cool to play with. thats why today really surprised me. if he had said "sorry", "didnt know" or even had said nothing, i would have let it go. i just thought he would have had a little more respect from a reg that hes played with. i guess that's what really got to me.

[Saris]

Not everyone who is a reg respects ALL the rules, ALL the time, because CS can be quite upsetting sometimes, and yes, rico has a temper problem when he plays for too long, heck, so can I. But mistreating another GC, especially one who is paying to play there should at least be a warning.

[{.s.D.s.} R!c0]

First of all, Lazarus, you're adding ME to the person who killed the hosties the round BEFORE. That was the first round I joined, and so didn't get to play. But someone typed "who did that?"

 

(where's the complaint thread, requesting a ban?)

 

There were 2 people left... there were 2 hosties left... I don't remember my health status... There was no reason for me to waste anyone's time trying to rescue the hosties.

 

I play on this scopeless server virtually every night, ... you do not. OTHER gc members know that I am very competitive, and have a bit of a temper. This wasn't even the case here. The rudeness stemmed from you and that other guy laying into me about it for FIVE ROUNDS after it happened. Even Shadowbud said something... (of course, I know who he is, and he me, so there was no issue there)

 

I've been on GC since Source was released. NEVER ONCE have I broken a rule like swearing, spraying porn, purpose team killing or being an e-thug. And you're requesting a ban because I killed 2 hosties at the end of a round in a one-on-one in cs_office.

 

Legendary. It may have been different, had it been more than the ONE TIME, like I was blatantly disregarding your rules... (which I wasn't).

 

(and, it might be noted, that Lazarus DID NOT have the gc tag on at the time. Had he been proudly wearing the clan tag that he pays for, my reaction would've been a bit different. I'm not going to just let some random player dictate the rules to me. That other guy, (5 rounds) is just what I mean... I've seen him like twice in 2 years... and he's calling me "noob" etc... again, no thread for namecalling)

 

I will add to this, that at NO TIME do I NOT play to win... People camp spawns ALL THE TIME here, WITHOUT WARNING OR PENALTY (or ban request threads). I NEVER DO THAT. I play the objective, I play to WIN EVERY TIME I LOG ON. Whenever I leave, it's because the game has gotten frustrating, and rather than have what you're describing continue, I play another game.

 

If you'd like to come in and spectate me playing sometime, you will find that this is the most ridiculous thread that could've EVER been started about me. Bad attitude? Maybe... but not last night, and not at the time you're describing.

 

Oh, and i was NOT rude to everyone in the server... I responded to you with the above, accurate quote... and I responded to that other guy for calling me a noob. I even told Shadowbud (#3 of 3 people that said ANYTHING and it was a FULL SERVER) that i wasn't referring to him in any of my responses. Later on, you told me to calm down, after I had typed something to the effect of "GROW UP. PLAY THE GAME" after about 5 rounds from that other guy. 3 people of 24 talked, 3 people got a response... not EVERYONE....

 

Thanks.

Looks at sig.. .."Broke my 510 ..." Hum, could you have killed the hosties out of anger? Alright i'm kidding, you won't be banned for killing 2 hosties. But please don't let it happen again... ...I know the hosties a idiots and stop for no reason, or cant move around a gun or dead body and stick there. But it isn't the objective to rescue 1, 2, or 3 hosties. ..The objective is to rescue all 4. We always try to promote that our players try to complete the objective. You know you did wrong.. ..Please don't let it happen anymore.

Hey, show me your infamous temper sometime in the server! Personally, I think it's sad that you have a freely admitted reputation for a bad temper.

I don't know what the exact situation was here, but it seems to me like killing a few hostages once or twice is no big deal. I've been known to summarily execute a few hostages myself after they proved too stupid to follow. I think the issue most people have is with Ts killing hostages, because the result is that they take away the possibility that the CTs could complete the objective. I've played some with Rico and I look forward to more games with him in the future. He's a competitor, and he's shown himself willing to own up to his occasional slip-ups, both good qualities. If he responded rudely in game then that's somewhat of a problem, but in my mind this is a guy I'd like to see stick around.

[Lunk]

I've seen the attitude on one of my rare appearances on #2. Thought it was actually kind of funny at the time. Instead of booting him. I decided to play "Hunt Down Rico". If memory serves he finished that map and left shortly after on the next map.

 

Anyways makes no difference if a person is wearing a gc tag or not. You Respect all players. And the rules.

The problem mookie is people do it to win the round. They will rescue 2 of the hosties and go back and kill the other 2. So, to put a stop to this. We've had to take steps to keep peeps from killing hosties at all.

[mookie]

Being rude to other players is a problem, but a forgiveable one IMO. I would hope that even though he doesn't bear the GC tag Rico would consider himself, as a reg, to still be a representative of the community in the server.

 

Rudeness aside though, consider Rico's position. He's playing in a server where he's a reg, and someone whose name he doesn't recognize starts telling him the rules. This isn't a license to be rude, but I don't think he can necessarily be expected to obey rules that are being given by someone that does not appear to be a GC member or reg. To my mind, Rico should at least deserve a warning from someone credible to him.

[wayfarer]

I don't know the whole situation that occoured here, but decided I

wanted to put my 2 cents in anyway. Being a regular on #2 myself,

I play with Rico almost every night. I rarely play with Lazerus

(this one anyway). Rico can sometimes get a little angry with the

gameflow, being an admin I can say he has NEVER gotten out of

hand. Rico never swears, and is always quick to help out the community

by pointing out porn sprayers & such when he comes across them.

I have to admit I was very surprised when his name showed up

here, and I am still skeptical of the situation. Rico always plays to

win, but in an incredibly fair fashion. Rico does not need to be

asked to switch teams to balance things out, he does this on

his own innitiative. Rico plays to win for the team that he is

playing for and, I must say, when things are going tough Rico

is usually right in there with you! Rico is a first class player that I have

never had a problem with. It is always a pleasure to play with him.

BTW: when the team I'm playing for does not listen to strategey's

at all & everyone goes their own way....I get angry too! (frustrated)

[Lunk]

The other side of that coin mookie is this. If an individual is letting you know about the rules. Chances are he's been a long time regular. And I've found that the ones that have been around this community the longest seem to be the ones who step up and let people know about our rules. Granted there are newer folks who do it as well. But overall it's the long time regs doing it.

 

Attitudes need to be checked at the door.

[Fatty]

There also comes a time when it's not an individual's job to go any further than mentioning the rules.....we ask that those w/o admin refrain from "pulling cards" or simulating any sort of power in the servers.

 

Sounds like two egos clashed, and one came to tattle. If Rico were as bad as made out in the original post, he'd have been removed long ago.

 

Who were the "others" that were there?

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

 

Now go play nice and have fun.

[Warpig]

I play with Rico almost every time I log into source and he may have a temper when things are not going right, but I never have saw him break the rules maybe complain about being killed, like we all have done, but nothing big. I have also seen a lot of people kill the hostages to win the round; sometimes it is the only way you are going to win. If it is a continuous thing I could see bringing it up but once I think it should be let go. I have never saw Rico kill the hostages, but I think in his situation he was doing it to win the round.

[Brillow_Head]

Rico is a good guy, I enjoy playing with him. I do get a chuckle if he has a bad map he usually doesn't stick around long due to frustration..which is the right thing to do.

 

I wouldn't say I play to win. I play not to lose I also play to have fun.

 

I have to point out that winning and having fun are not necissarily synonymous with each other in my book so a negetive score doesnt' bother me one bit.

 

Honestly I do feel a bit sorry for ya Rico that they both go more hand in hand for you than myself. In the long run, 50% of the people are going to lose each map and if you're on the losing side more than once you take a break, and I get lonely cause you are fun to play with.

 

As for the hostie killing, shame on you.

[{.s.D.s.} R!c0]

Ok... I killed the hosties... for that, I apologize.

If my candor came off as rude, then for that I apologize.

 

@ Lunk, you probably just don't remember who I am... I used to play under the name(s) Human Error, and Rewind (same dude). Not that it's an excuse, but it'll at least give you a reference point. We used to play all the time before GC got the scopeless server, and we used to have competitions with the scout.

 

Anyway, I was hoping this wouldn't turn into this big ol' thing, but it did... I won't kill the hosties again, unless it's accidental (which happens often), and I'll continue to play as normal (if i'm not actually banned)...

 

I am an aggressive player... always have been. I lead rushes, and i try to do what I can to help the team win. The most frustrating part is that I come home from work, and log on and it takes a year to get in, and then i play bad. I hate playing bad.

 

Carry on...

It's all good R!c0 And no I didn't know that's who you were. Welcome back.

[Clueless]

Rico isnt really a routine trouble maker in my book, sure, he has a temper from time to time, but so do we all. What I am seeing here is a guy who hasnt made any excuses or tried to lie about what he did, doesnt make what he did right, but he did admit and apolgize.

 

Its easy to rip each other apart here in the forums, cuz we all seem to love the drama, but when a guy makes a post about someone, you have to expect that the person will come in and defend himself, which is what we have here, an anthill transformed into a mountain.

 

I dunno, maybe its just me, but it seems like a waste of time to try and report every minor little wrong doing from every player on the server, I think we should save it for the major offenses.
